Fair Housing

In South Dakota, a real estate agent who receives a complaint that a listing client has been discriminating against buyers should:

AIgnore the complaint to maintain the listing
BConsult with their broker and potentially terminate the listing rather than participate in discrimination✓ Correct
CAdvise the seller to be more subtle about their preferences
DReport only the buyer who complained, not the seller

Explanation

A real estate agent who becomes aware that a seller is engaged in discriminatory conduct should consult their broker and may need to terminate the listing rather than participate in, facilitate, or become complicit in fair housing violations. Continuing to list the property could expose the agent to liability.
